Dear Holy Hill Area School District Families,

If your house looks anything like mine right now, Spring Break has brought a mix of suitcases, snacks, sleeping in (for some), and a much needed change of pace.

As this message reaches you, I hope your family is finding time to rest, recharge, and enjoy a break from the usual routines. In our family, this time is always a blend of adventure and a reset. It is a chance to slow down, laugh a little more, and spend time together without the usual rush. It is also a great reminder to unplug a bit with less screen time, more connection, and maybe even some fresh air (even if Wisconsin weather keeps us guessing!!!). If you are looking for something simple to try, consider choosing one hour each day to unplug. No phones, no devices, just time to connect, laugh, and enjoy being together.

At HHASD, we believe in perseverance and part of that is knowing when to pause and refuel so we can finish strong. When we return, we will head into the final stretch of the school year with continued learning, growth, and celebrations ahead. We are so proud of our students and grateful for your partnership.

Enjoy these days. We look forward to welcoming everyone back recharged and ready to finish the year strong!!!

Together We Can,

Dr. Katy Williams

Superintendent 

Holy Hill Area School District

Developmental questionnaires are being sent out to all registered 4K families. Thank you to those families who have already completed this questionnaire. If you have not yet filled out your child’s questionnaire please do so. This information will be helpful for our staff as they prepare to get to know your child.

At this time the district is looking to hold the 4K screening on Friday May 1, 2026 at Friess Lake School. The district will be reaching out to you in the upcoming weeks so you can register for a screening time. This information will be sent via email to all registered 4K families. Please note this screening is optional.

The Public school open enrollment program in Wisconsin allows parents to apply for their children to attend a public school in a school district other than the one in which they reside. The regular open enrollment application period for the 2026-2027 school year begins on February 2, 2026, and ends at 4:00 pm on April 30, 2026. The best way to apply is online, the online application is available at https://dpi.wi.gov/open-enrollment during the application period.

The Holy Hill Area School District will review all Open Enrollment applications received during the application period and approve applications within grade levels that have approved open seat availability. These decisions are based on the Holy Hill Area School Board approved number of seats available as determined at the January 19, 2026 school board meeting for the upcoming 2026-2027 school year.

The Holy Hill Area School District is proud to have a new clinical mental health counselor begin working within our district. 

We are so excited to introduce Stacey Ellison (MS, LPC). Stacey received her master’s degree in clinical mental health counseling and is a licensed professional counselor. Prior to her career in mental health, Stacey was an educator for over ten years, which equipped her with a strong knowledge of childhood development and the ability to connect with youths. Stacey has experience working with children and adolescents with various concerns related to mental health and behavior including ADHD, anger, anxiety, attachment issues, depression, and trauma. Stacey’s approach to counseling is warm and centered on the child/adolescent. She incorporates both play therapy and cognitive behavior therapy (CBT) techniques in order to assist young people in learning and practicing emotional regulation skills.

If you would like to have your child work with Stacey please feel free to email her at staceyellisoncounselingservicesllc@clinical-psychology-associates.com or call her at (262) 251-1112 x744. She will begin to see students within the district beginning the week of March 2, 2026.
